Quote - I'll repeat the crucial line here: Members systems are most likely infected with trojans generating spam. So what do you think you prove with above mentioned actions?
What guarantees do you have that the system used by the person you sent an email to is not generating spam (with a possible spoofed alias)!!!

 

In addition to my circumstances being the same as Natoli - I also NEVER EVER download any email to my computer before first checking in MailWasher - from there I delete all the crap and only then do I download my legitimate mail into OE.

I do not even download rendo mail other than the newsletter - I simply click on the ebot links in the preview pane.

This, once again, is nothing to do with us individuals being held responsible for our internet security, it is about email addresses used here at this site that are generating spam - be it from the route that the messages take leaving them vulnerable for the addresses to be harvested, or from other means as has been suggested by other members, that a member of staff here is selling them to mailing lists.

I don't CARE what the cause is but only that the cause is looked into properly and action is taken to prevent this from happening in the future.

As I have stated previously, this does not happen to my email addresses that I use for DAZ, Poser Pros, 3D Commune, RDNA etc - each having a dedicated address that I use for each site only.
